August Highlights

Monday, September 3, 2018

The Top 5 remained exactly the same in August as it was in July with
React on top followed by Python, AWS, Postgresql and JavaScript. This
is React's fifteenth month in a row in the top spot. Though React has
slid back in terms of share over the last quarter after peaking in
June, it's still in a dominant position.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, both Node.js and golang are making their move,
coming in just short of the Top 5. Node.js has one previous top 5 and
is trying to get back there while golang is looking for its first Top
5 finish.

Overall, August had its best month ever in terms of posting count, up
18% over both July and last August. This will be an interesting trends
to watch going into the Fall.
